The Grim Underground Tomb
Despite his deep reluctance, Irving knew he had to collaborate with the two elders of the Night Blades. Moreover, he successfully obtained clues about his companions' whereabouts from them.
Irving had no intention of allowing the werewolf leader's subordinates to accompany him. He believed their strength was simply too inadequate.
"I'm heading to the other side of Shadow City," Irving said, his tone dark as he addressed the werewolf leader. "According to the clues provided by the elders of the Night Blades, that's where my companions were last seen."
The werewolf leader nodded, his gaze fixed intently on Irving. He could sense that Irving's emotions were somewhat chaotic. Mixed within his anger and frustration was an inexplicable sense of joy.
The werewolf leader couldn't fathom why Irving exhibited such complex emotions, so he decided to observe him more closely.
